IRN-BRU's new sporty comp

IRN-Bru drink packs - the two litre, 500ml and 330ml sizes - are set to feature a Commonwealth Games themed comp soon, Promotional Marketing has reported.

Following the UK's excitement over the London 2012 Olympics, the Commonwealth Games are set to come to Glasgow, starting on July 23rd this year and going on until August 3rd.

As part of a Cheer We Go promotion, AG Barr, the company that makes IRN-BRU, is running a comp where people from the UK could win tickets for the Games.

The sugar-free as well as the regular type of its orange-coloured fizzy pop are both set to feature the on-pack comp. It's all linked to the fact that IRN-BRU is Glasgow 2014's official soft drink.

Cheer We Go is the biggest on-pack promotion to ever feature on IRN-BRU.

The comp got us thinking about sporty prizes - like just about anything you can think of to buy in this life, it's possible to win this kind of thing in comps, of course!

It's never too late to give comping a try if you haven't sampled it yet - after all, it could lead you to some brilliant wins! Even if your big hobby is, say, football, there no reason you shouldn't take up comping as a second hobby.

Obviously footy is one of the biggest sports out there in the UK - and often prizes for comps linked to this will be connected to a specific club - great if this is club you support, but perhaps not for everyone!

However, one comp with a wider appeal is currently available on Clubline Fantasy Football, where game participants could get their hands on a complete kit for their team - see the website for more.

And of course national teams can bring a whole county together - if you live up in Scotland and fancy the chance to own a football that members of the national football team have signed, head to the Vauxhall Football website for a simple no-question comp.

One footy prize that would benefit not just the winner but a whole lot of other people too is being offered by Capital One.

This Facebook comp promises to make-over 11 grounds. To enter, people must nominate a location in need of a revamp then explain their choice and add an image.

As the T&Cs make clear, the comp is after a nomination for a football pitch in need - for example one with pot holes.

Whichever wins gets up to £75,000 so that the pitch, the facilities, or both, can be improved.

Ten runners up will get a grant worth up to £5,000 for facilities improvement.

There are always plenty of sporty comps out there, and a huge range of ways to get to them.

One of the best has to be hitting The Prize Finder and using the search box. Type in the name of the spot you're after and you'll be away.

For example, there are currently three comps on offer if you run a search for running.

There are two results for rugby-themed prizes, both of which are for match tickets.

There are also various gym membership prizes listed on the site - just search gym! Other sporty prizes listed include an exercise bike and trainers.
